MTL SD16X Surge Protector for Process Control & Fire and Gas Detector Protection - ATEX Certified Surge Barrier for Oil & Gas and Chemical Processing
SD16X Surge Protector | ATEX Certified Industrial Signal Protection Device
The SD16X is a high-performance industrial surge protector engineered to provide reliable transient voltage protection for 4-20mA signal loops, PLC I/O modules, and field devices in harsh industrial environments. As an ATEX certified intrinsically safe surge arrester, the SD16X addresses critical points such as signal interference, voltage spikes, and equipment downtime, making it an essential component for industrial automation, oil and gas, chemical processing, and process control systems.
Product Overview
The SD16X surge protector is a specialized transient voltage suppressor built for industrial signal protection. With a 16V operating voltage and low resistance design, it delivers exceptional surge protection without compromising signal integrity—critical for 4-20mA instrumentation, sensors, transmitters, and fire and gas detectors. Its multistage hybrid protection circuit can handle a maximum surge current of 20kA, effectively mitigating lightning-induced transients, EMI/RFI interference, and electrical surges that threaten industrial control systems.
Crafted with industrial-grade durability, the SD16X features an ultra-slim design that saves space in control panels, while its DIN-rail mounting allows for quick and easy installation. Backed by a 10-year warranty, this cost-effective surge protection device ensures long-term reliability, reducing maintenance costs and unplanned downtime.
